No, I have about 20 relays of various kinds. (255, 314, something by 
Automatic Electric)

I'm debating the best way to get this out of the socket so I can work on 
the base.  If it's glue of some sort, I'm considering a little bit of 
heat.  Soldering iron or warm water?  The relay is supposedly sealed.
